It can get hard to find special gifts for the people in your lives and it seems to be even harder to find a toy that will still be in play and not forgotten in the corner two weeks later.  I worked with SuperFly Kids earlier this year and am happy to say that the capes I reviewed are definitely still being used often around our home.  So I was excited to be able to partner with them again and share some more great products with you.  You can read my first review Here. I was sent an assortment Read more [...]

I have received a Philips Satin Perfect Epilator for review.  All opinions are my own. When I was presented with options of what to review for the holiday season from Philips one of the items I chose was the Satin Perfect Epilator.  I looked at the info for this particular product and thought I would absolutely love it!  To be honest with you, I haven't used the Epilator yet.  I am sharing the facts with you before I actually use it because I want everyone to see how awesome this product could Read more [...]

*I was provided with Pork Chomps products in return for this post. All opinions are my own. My dogs are 8 and 9 years old, so while their super chewy puppy days are long gone, they still appreciate a good chew now and then especially when they are feeling a bit anxious. After learning that rawhide is really difficult for dogs to digest and can lead to blockages, I started looking into other options. Pork Chomps is a company that makes rawhide free chews for dogs that are two times easier for Read more [...]

While there are some things I just don't like to think or talk about, I know it's a smart idea to have safety plans in place.  I just spent some time last week with our children discussing fire safety and what to do if there would ever be a fire, where to meet, and answering the kid's questions. Something that my husband and I have unfortunately had to discuss is what to do in case of a break in or any other situation that would warrant a defense.  The reason for this initial discussion Read more [...]

I received products from Kidz Gear for this review. All opinions are my own. My girls love listening to music; they get this from their father. My husband can, will and does listen to music all day long. I on the other hand, seem to have a sensitivity to music noise. I can listen to music for about 10 minutes and then I start getting a headache. It doesn’t matter if it’s the radio, someone singing or musical instruments, my ears and head don’t like it. My new car has duel radios. Read more [...]

Thank you Nescafe for providing me with products to review, free of charge. These are my own honest opinions. Nescafe Dolce Gusto has recently launched a brand new, sleek-looking, single serve coffee machine. It's called the Genio and guess who's the lucky girl who got to review it! ME! I was thrilled to have the opportunity to try the new coffee machine. Let me tell you why. My husband doesn't like coffee so there is no reason for me to brew a pot of coffee, it'll just go to waste. Of course, Read more [...]

  *I was provided with Ripley's books in exchange for this post. All opinions are my own. I try to include a book with gifts that I give to kids. I remember being in fifth grade and being so tired of the boys in our class complaining about the books that we read. I loved all of the books that we were required to read in the class so their complaining annoyed me. Then one day I kind of realized that it seemed like most of the books we read covered topics that tend to be more interesting Read more [...]

Children learn through play and play while they learn. I love watching our kids grow and mimic the things they see us do. One of the first "games" that many young children tend to pick up is talking on the phone. It's a fact of life that most people communicate through phones these days. I was really surprised that our youngest, now 16 months, picked up, not the phone game, but "playing puppy" as his first game. I love watching him crawl around with his tongue slightly out pretending. None of our Read more [...]

I received products from Ecco Bella for this review. All opinions are my own. About two years ago, I made the switch from traditional department store cosmetics to mineral based products. Not only are they safer for me, but I think they look better, feel better on my skin and wear longer. A favorite mineral make-up line of mine is Ecco Bella. Ecco Bella offers products that care for your hair, skin and body. They also have fragrance and cosmetics. Ecco Bella products are formulated in quality Read more [...]

My family enjoys music.  We love having tunes flowing through our home daily whether it be from the piano, radio, cd's, musical instruments, or now keyboard.  Everyone, even our youngest who is 1, enjoys exploring the musical world.  We enrolled in a local Kindermusic class a couple years ago when one was offered and it was amazing to see how all the children interacted and learned through the duration of the class.  At the end, our 3rd child was about to turn one and it was truly a joy to Read more [...]
